Berkeley is home to a number of innovative recycling and zero-waste programs that aim to divert waste from landfills. The city’s Recycling Team works with residents, restaurants, schools, hospitals and more, to provide education and support businesses to comply with local, state, and national mandates. 

Host and producer Fiona McLeod speaks with two members of Berkeley’s recycling team on this episode of Terra Verde. Julia Heath and Bella Bertaud join the show to discuss how the city is working with local businesses and residents to implement its Zero Waste Strategic Plan, and the role we can play as individuals in reducing landfill waste and living more sustainably.
